I hope anyone reads this before ordering this arbor. The arbor was delivered the very next day. I could not have been more pleased with how fast it came! Well I decided to put it together myself. It was a bit difficult and my recommendation would be have two people. I ran into an issue after I had it put together. The top two arbor boards were not even. To long on one side. I spent hours trying to figure this out. I took it apart 3 times and worked on things I thought were causing the issue. After my husband took a look at it we realized the top two arbors had the slits cut to far from one end. No matter what there's no way to make it come out right...trust me. It's a defect! I loved the arbor so much and wasn't willing to take it apart and go through returning it to get a new one.  My husband figured out a way to make it work. I read another review that stated the same problems. 
It's a beautiful arbor at a fair price. But either figure out how to rig it or live with it being uneven.
